What about sex and other stuff?

Informed consent obviously applies to medical ethics, but what about things like sex, sport and other areas where it is a bit dubious how consent works. In Britain, contact sport like rugby (or American football) is one of the situations where consent overrides the assault laws - but there are grey areas. Sports like boxing seem to be one. Also, there are consent problems with sadomasochism and sex generally. What plans are there, if any, to include such issues in this article? Do they fall within the informed consent topic or should they just be in a consent article more generally? –Tom Morris 16:11, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
